Detail

As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Upper Kedron has an estimated resident tally of approximately 6,711, drawing from AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS broader regional releases alongside post-Census validated new addresses.

This figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS ERP figure of 6,612 residents, supplemented by 260 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The suburb of Upper Kedron records a population density of 721 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with overall benchmarks across AreaSearch study locations.

Outperforming both the broader SA3 area (8.2%) and the wider SA4 region, the suburb of Upper Kedron's 15.7% expansion establishes it as a prominent growth hub. Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 41.0% of total additions, with positive contributions also delivered by natural increase and interstate migration. Population modeling by AreaSearch integrates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), while applying 2023 Queensland State Government projections (grounded in 2021 data) for locations outside that series or extending post-2032. Because the state-level dataset does not detail specific age brackets, AreaSearch allocates cohort distributions via proportional weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (based on 2022 data). Looking to long-range trends, demographic growth for the suburb of Upper Kedron is projected slightly below the median of AreaSearch assessed localities, with combined SA2 figures indicating an addition of 635 persons to 2041, translating to an aggregate gain of 8.0% across the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Upper Kedron

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

3,556 residents of Upper Kedron are employed, from a labour force of 3,691. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 73.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 5,598, about 83% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

Workforce data synthesized by AreaSearch shows Upper Kedron maintains a highly educated talent base with notable concentration in professional services and an unemployment level of only 3.7%. Across the suburb, 3,556 residents are employed as of March 2026, keeping local unemployment 0.7% below Greater Brisbane's 4.3% benchmark, alongside a workforce participation rate of 73.4% (compared to 70.1% regionally). Census records further reveal that 27.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. Local workforce participation is heavily clustered across public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical disciplines.

Specialization is particularly pronounced in public administration & safety, where local employment concentration is 2.9 times the regional standard. Conversely, manufacturing comprises a minor component of the local economy at 2.7%, well under the 6.4% regional average. The substantial disparity between local resident counts and Census day working populations emphasizes the predominantly residential character of the suburb with limited internal job nodes. Aggregated data from SALM and ABS, as examined by AreaSearch, indicates that the labour force shrank by 1.8% and employment fell by 2.3% during the period ending March 2026, which led to a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced employment growth of 3.2% and labour force growth of 3.4%, with unemployment rising by 0.1 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia regarding national employment starting Mar-26 provide additional context for anticipating future job demand in Upper Kedron. These projections span five and ten year intervals and have been overlaid with the local employment structure to project growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral forecasts are applied to Upper Kedron's current employment composition, the area is expected to see employment rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this calculation represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes localized population projections.

How the numbers are built

Population

The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 260 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,800 at the 2021 Census → 6,711 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.

Age profile

Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".

Property sales

Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.

Rents

Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.

Development & infrastructure

Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.

Employment & income

Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.

Education, transport & amenities

School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.

Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.

Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL32912). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Upper Kedron suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Upper Kedron page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Upper Kedron data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2025) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
